Variation for a high-beginner: Have the learner write in the vocabulary rather than simply ticking off the appropriate line.

True and False Exercises

Provide the learner with a series of statements regarding a speech sample. To increase the difficulty, have the learner listen a second time and correct the false statements.

For beginning learners, these statements should focus on factual information presented in the speech sample. For higher- level learners, the statements could be designed to prompt learners to investigate the inferred meaning of the speech sample.

Learner sheet:

Please circle T if the statement is true. Circle F if the statement is false.
